The Hard Luck Hank series drops readers onto Belvaille, a space station at the edge of the galaxy where the law is more of a suggestion. Hank, the narrator, is a mutant whose skin is nearly impossible to damage, which makes him useful in a place where arguments are often settled with weapons. He works as a negotiator and problem-solver, though his solutions usually create new problems.
The series spans fifteen books published between 2014 and 2023, including companion stories like Early Years and Delovoa that flesh out the station’s history. Campbell’s writing style is casual and joke-heavy, with Hank’s first-person narration providing a running commentary on the absurdity of his life. The books are self-published and have built a loyal following through word of mouth.
